disco Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Look at this quote from ESPN's lead article regarding the release of Edwards: To take Edwards' roster spot, the Bills plan to re-sign offensive tackle Levi Brown, whom they released this summer, a league source told Schefter. Levi Brown's name is linked to a bio of an Arizona Cardinal. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5621888 Nice effort ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if the Bills don't re-sign Brown, that's the reporter's problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABills08 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Why didn't we start Fitz week 1 and keep Brown on the roster from the get go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Why didn't we start Fitz week 1 and keep Brown on the roster from the get go? Because we have experienced football men on the job, and they know better than us who the best QB is. Unfortunately, all game tapes from 2009 were destroyed before they took the jobs, so they went with the guy who threw a better ball in practice.

pBills Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 So if Levi comes back that means they won't draft a QB in the first round next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Or Somebody told Gailey to start Edwards, somebody who signs his check You think so? I doubt it. Honestly, once we take it as a given that no potential starter would be brought in at QB, I think the QB "competition" came down to simple coaching arrogance. Coaches who come from one side of the ball tend to think that they can coach up guys who basically stink. Gailey was able to talk himself into believing that Edwards' problems were 1) all mental, 2) caused by his previous coaches, and 3) fixable by Gailey. I think at least (2) and (3) were wrong, and maybe (1) as well. I was never impressed by Edwards' non-checkdown accuracy, but it was so rare he actually threw over the middle that it's hard to judge accurately.

As for the error (since fixed, I see), obviously some editor in Bristol was in a rush to add the "sources told ESPN Insider Adam Schefter!!11!!ONE!" paragraph to Wawrow's story and got it wrong.

Van_phelaN1 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Or Somebody told Gailey to start Edwards, somebody who signs his check Oh and here we go! If it was based on salary, wouldn't Fitz have been the one starting? I thought he had the highest contract, unless I was dreaming when I heard that mentioned.
